Little did I know that this would be our only Easter with Hannah. The month of Easter was tough because all 5 girls had chicken pox! At the moment I wasn't able to see any blessing from that, but you thinking back, that was just a sweet time for me. You see, I had an entire month where I was able to stay home and take care of my babies.
On April 1st 2002- (5 months after Hannah went home)
It was April Fools Day. My husband called me while I was out with my mom and a sister, and told me that our landlord had just called and said we needed to find a new home. That he has just sold our rental! The rental was NOT even for sale!
You can't tell me the Lord doesn't answer prayer! You see, I had been praying that the Lord would move us..I didn't care where or how, just that we could move.
Talk about an answer to pray...in a weird sort of way...because I could not BARE to live in that house anymore. You know what happened to that old house?? It was purchased and knocked down, it is now a field of green grass. When I drive past our old spot, I am reminded of God's grace, and how far He has brought me.. from the depth of despair and pain...to be able to breathe again!
Death sucks less when you know Jesus, who takes away our pain!
At the time of this photo, all 5 of my little ones just has just gotten over chicken pox! We spent the ENTIRE month of April in the house, trying to get over those stinkin' pox! LOL

I have learned that God is Good, All the Time! Even though Life is not.
